Like Monster Stu has already said, its a poisoned chalice. The media will be on his back from day 1 and every selection, decision, loss, draw, win will be scrutinised by armchair experts. He may have international experience but has he ever won anything of substance. He couldn't handle the pressure at Liverpool, although he managed them when they were in total turmoil and almost on the verge of administration, so how will he handle being England manager, probably the most pressurised footballing job in the world.

Is Hodgson really the best we could come up with??????
